Notes

1. Size - The beef cheeks I got were unusually large, around 350g/12oz each. Great man size portions. Usually beef cheeks are around 250g/8oz each and I get 6.

2. Beef Cheeks - If you can't find beef cheeks, substitute with any other cut of beef suitable for slow cooking. Boneless beef short ribs is ideal! Cut them into 250g/8oz pieces.

3. Leftover beef cheeks and sauce can be kept in the freezer for 3 months.

4.Nutrition per serving, excluding mashed potato.
